Changing the game: Real Dealer Studios set to bring the thrill and realism of live casino
Real Dealer Studios, a new game development studio focused on bringing an entirely new kind of experience to the world of online gaming, is set to debut its first revolutionary game at ICE London from 4-6 February 2020.
Founded on a single, bold notion – that moviemaking magic can take the online casino to the next level – the studio creates immersive, tailor-made casino products of superior visual and sound quality that combine the thrill and realism of live casino. Working with experienced film industry professionals, the studio employs the very best dealers, equipment and cinematography to create engagingly realistic dealer-hosted RNG games. Whether it’s a premiere, a sequel or a remake of an old classic, they are dedicated to ensuring that every entertaining release is of blockbuster quality.
“Compared with others in the games industry, our studio is definitely an outlier. That’s our edge. Just like the products we make, we’ve got one foot in the world of iGaming and the other in filmmaking. That mix gives us a fresh take on how things should be done and what new possibilities can be explored,” said Jose Micallef, Sales Manager at Real Dealer Studios.
“We are committed to bringing an entirely new kind of experience to the world of online gaming that offers operators a distinct competitive advantage in today’s market. Our roadmap involves applying our concept to all the traditional table games. We’ve now established the strong beginnings of a roulette portfolio, with baccarat, blackjack and other headline games to be released in the coming months. We are excited to reveal our first innovative game at ICE London 2020.”
Driven by a passion to create never-before-seen gaming experiences, Real Dealer Studios comprises talent from 13 nations spanning five continents. The studio has a range of unique and diverse working styles shared across the team, which is dedicated to delivering truly cutting-edge gaming technology. In addition to the designers, developers and quality assurance specialists typically found in a game studio, the team also has a strong contingent of video production hotshots, including directors, camera operators, editors and the like.
Welcoming players to a new era of casino gameplay, Real Dealer Studios will be rolling out its pioneering genre of games from this year onwards. The team is set to showcase the first of its creations and capabilities on its dedicated stand (MS5) at ICE London 2020.

CasinoCanada launches free social slot tournament
CasinoCanada.com launches a new social tournament system built around free-to-enter slot competitions, combining daily, weekly, and monthly events with leaderboards, bonus prizes, and exclusive merchandise.
The tournaments are powered entirely by BGaming slots, marking the first industry collaboration between an affiliate brand and BGaming focused specifically on social tournament engagement.
Participation in all tournaments is free for registered users of legal gambling age.
Players compete across rotating tournaments featuring a changing lineup of BGaming titles, including hit titles Aztec Magic Bonanza, Bonanza Billion, and Elvis Frog, among others.
Prizes include various bonuses and free spins from CasinoCanada partner casinos.
Selected special tournaments also feature exclusive BGaming merchandise prizes.
Tournament performance is reflected in public leaderboards, adding a competitive and community-driven layer to the CasinoCanada experience.
While social slot tournaments have become increasingly common in iGaming, many existing formats are built around the same providers and similar tournament structures.
CasinoCanada’s approach focuses on free participation, rotating BGaming content, partner casino bonus rewards, merchandise prizes, and recurring competition.
Eugene Ravdin, Head of PR at CasinoCanada, said: “The affiliate industry is moving beyond static review pages and traditional bonus listings. Community features, recurring engagement formats, and social competition are becoming increasingly important for long-term audience retention.
“Our goal is to create something more interactive and community-driven while also giving more visibility to BGaming’s slot portfolio through a format that players can engage with on a daily basis.”
Kate Puteiko, CMO at BGaming, said: “Players and the community have always been the beating heart of everything we do here at BGaming.
Online play no longer has to be a solitary activity, and tournaments like this are an excellent way to connect players and enhance everyone’s experience.
CasinoCanada shares this vision, and this collaboration is a natural extension of that.
We are excited to see our games front and centre of these tournaments and for players to begin creating memorable moments competing with them.”
CasinoCanada plans to introduce additional community features in the future, including gamification systems and forum functionality designed to expand user interaction around the tournament ecosystem.
The tournaments are now live at: https://casinocanada.com/tournaments/

Her role also includes the strategic management of the group’s sponsorship portfolio, which includes clubs such as Corinthians, Ceará, Ferroviária and Náutico, as well as major cultural events sponsored by the company.

Our focus is to develop strategies that expand brand presence, strengthen relationships with audiences and support the company’s growth in a consistent way,” she said.
